Boss, Your Wife Signed the Divorce Agreement Before the Wedding novel Chapter 655
The atmosphere at the table was undeniably bizarre.
Everyone seemed remarkably well-adjusted. The extended family members had already pushed the ugly scene out of their minds, chatting and laughing about trivial matters as if nothing had happened.
Raelynn found the stark contrast deeply unsettling.
It felt like everyone was wearing an impenetrable mask. They were supposed to be family, bound by blood, yet there was a thick wall of artifice separating them all.
"What do you want to eat?"
Sebastian's low, smooth voice pulled her from her thoughts.
She glanced up to find him looking right at her.
His gaze was dark and unreadable.
Raelynn had completely lost her appetite. "Don't worry about me," she replied quickly.
"Alright."
Sebastian nodded calmly. Using the serving utensils, he picked up two New Zealand Langoustines and placed them on his plate. He then slid on a pair of disposable gloves and expertly peeled the shells away.
Without missing a beat, he placed the succulent meat right onto Raelynn's plate.
He clearly didn't care about her previous rejection.
Raelynn stared down at the food.
Langoustine had always been her favorite. Sebastian had a photographic memory and an incredibly sharp mind; he could remember the background of a complete stranger who handed him a business card once.
Of course he'd remember a minor detail like her favorite seafood.
But...
"Oh, Sebastian is so thoughtful. Putting on a little show of affection with your wife is a brilliant move. It shows everyone how strong your marriage is, which just proves that Seraphina Vance is nothing but a desperate joke," Brenda Polk couldn't resist sniping.
Her tone was dripping with acidic resentment.
She was obviously still furious.
If Sebastian was so eager to toss Seraphina aside tonight, why had he ever humored the girl in the first place? He had ruined her son's engagement just for fun, making the Second Branch look like utter fools.
If he hadn't meddled, Seraphina would probably be her daughter-in-law right now.
Then again.
It was a good thing the marriage fell through.
She never would have guessed the girl was such a disaster—sleeping with a professor, faking her thesis, secretly having a kid, and getting tangled up with the Tanner family!
Raelynn wanted to laugh, but she managed to sound sincere. "Yes, you're right. I haven't let it bother me."
The truth was, she didn't give a damn about what happened between Sebastian and Seraphina anymore.
Whoever fathered the child was none of her business.
She had zero ties to the Croix family now anyway.
Sebastian kept his head down, meticulously peeling another piece of seafood with a practiced calm.
He seemed entirely indifferent to her response.
Forrest nodded approvingly. "Good. However, the fact remains that she insulted you. We can't just ignore that. Do you have any thoughts on how we should handle the Vance family? I'd be happy to take your suggestions and ensure you get your revenge."
Raelynn found the offer incredibly ironic.
Now he wanted her to call the shots?
That would make her the villain of this entire ordeal.
Where was this protective instinct years ago?
She offered a polite smile. "I'm perfectly fine. It hasn't affected me in the slightest. If their actions have harmed the family's reputation, then I trust your judgment on how to handle it."

The readers' comments on the novel: Boss, Your Wife Signed the Divorce Agreement Before the Wedding
I think for as slow as the beginning was, their turning point is just so fast... really hope we actually get to read about R and S and their rekindle.... we did not read 950 pages for their story to be sidelined. Im for this sideline story, but it if it's to separate from the main characters and their story, please make it separate book....
Author please update more chapters...
I really like Zella, she is becoming a good friend to Raelynn. Ian needs to go. The relationship with Chloe is confusing. Some chapters they are cousins, sometimes they're sibling. A little confusing....
Julians role as big brother- I feel comes from a genuine place, but in a relationship thats is just as stained as Raelynns and Sebastians. It hard for me to connect to his big brother role as he too was such a problem before. And while they talked a little bit, the conversation did not give me the believe there was resolution between Raelynn and Julian. For a brute, he should make his feelings clear about the situation to Raelynn and then step back, until there is more foundation for him to stand on....
Knife in my heart. I hurt for Raelynn. She has made it this far, but how much does she have in her, everyone has a breaking point. Some back of me hopes the author is joking to lighten the mood after so many intense chapters, but thats not this kind of story or couple....
My heart cannot take this. This, cannot be how it ends with these too. They need resolution with each other. Raelynn needs to be more humanize with Sebastian. We know she is hurt, but this is the branch. She needs all these answers, if not for them to be together, then for Lily to have both her parents. Stop with the mind games Raelynn!...
Its like the story is just repeating itself...
Timeline is getting lost for me. So many treasured little memories Raelynn has but yet, he was gone for years ? Anyways... still rooting for them! These two need a heart to heart. Lily "forgetting" someone, not possible in this day and age and I hope thats not their storyline....
Sebastian, the man of few words.... needs to find all the words! Needs to fight for her! On note, seven years seems like a long time for this master plan (which I am sure goes back much farther). Rereading this novel, and it seems like everything has played out in a 5-8 month time span. And I feel like all Sebastian's doings/ plan have not been revealed. I hope we get to see the whole picture and have the resolutions we hope. But seven years of mistreatment, I just don't see Raelynn fully coming back. If these was 2-3 years, maybe, and I know it changes some characters around, but it would still work. Rooting for them!...
Literally on edge!...
